I thought things
were under control –
until they weren’t
and I am still unsure
exactly where it all
unraveled,
how I came to
the end of myself.
And yet that’s
where I ended up.
At the end of myself.
It would
seem that
at one’s end
There
Would
Be
Nothing.
But you were there.
You caught me.
You held me.
And you taught me
about who you are
and who I am.
You made it known
to me that I am
not the sum of
what goes right
in my world.
In fact, I am
more than that
I am
glory,
grace,
and eternity
is within me
because you
are in me.
These mysteries
are out of my control.
and somehow
that’s okay with me.
The end of myself
is no longer
a place that I fear.
It’s the place
where I rest.
Where I am the
most empty
and yet
every need is met.
A wonder.
I am amazed
at what you
revealed to me;
honored by the
way you showed
me who you are
in the midst of
swirling
circumstances.

hope
is present in
upheaval
hope
makes
itself
known
hope can’t be
shut out
covered up
quieted
the signposts of hope
will surprise you and
you will find
hope
in places
you don’t
anticipate
stay expectant
watch for it
when hope
shows up
don’t discount it
don’t argue with it
follow its lead
it will feed your soul
#PermissionGranted
What are some practices that keep you expectant? Where do you see hope?

Have you noticed
that our world
requires us to
set permissions?
In order for something
to work for us,
we have to
to give it the go ahead
to work with the other
things in our lives
so that it can do for us
what it is supposed to do.
If we don’t set permissions –
the app, the program,
the new high-tech watch
will never work as they
are intended to work.
We, as humans, also
have permissions
that we need to set.
Set your permissions for
what influences you,
who has access to you,
what you will give your energy to, and
how much disrespect is too much.
Set your permissions so
that what is in your life is
working with you,
not against you.

Imperfect is real.
Perfection
renders us
counterfeit,
forces us
to conceal.
Don’t give in
to the pressure that
the world serves up
because
we need real
more than we need
a show.
We need soft hearts in tune.
We need bodies ready to work.
We need
open minds on the same page.
We need blood, sweat, and tears.
We need vulnerable.
We need all of the quirks
that make you,
You,
to show up in
full display,
no camouflage.
Fake perpetuates
the status quo.
We must do
better than that.
